I used to think I’d remember everything about my homestead—until I didn’t. Enter the homestead journal: part planner, part disaster log, and 100% lifesaver. From tracking planting dates to recording the time a raccoon outsmarted me (again), this little book has saved me more times than I can count. Whether you want to avoid past mistakes, plan ahead, or just document the chaos, a homestead journal is a must. Future you will thank you—probably while shaking their head at past you’s choices.

As the snow melts, nature’s first edible greens start popping up, ready for eager foragers. From dandelions to wild garlic, these early plants bring fresh flavor back to the table.

Ice fishing isn’t just about dropping a line through the ice—it’s about strategy, patience, and the reward of fresh fish in the dead of winter.

And if you’ve got a warm shack with a wood stove, you can cook your catch right there on the ice. Grab your rods, call some friends, and get ready for the ultimate winter fishing experience!
